Domaine Anita Beaujolais-Villages Coteau de Malval 2023

James Suckling

An extraordinary Beaujolais-Villages and an extraordinary 2023 with a raciness that must be tasted to be believed. That and the eruption of stony minerality on the extremely focused palate make this a Beaujolais that takes your breath away. The only slight issue here is that you need to like acidity, because the finish is rippling with it. From a steep, high-altitude site with a southerly exposure and volcanic soil.

Wine Enthusiast

From a single vineyard, this wine has a dense, jammy texture that exudes ripe berry and red-cherry flavors. Layers of rich fruits and a core of tannins will allow the wine to age a little further but you can drink now. $22. (vurderet ved ~ 150 kr.)

Value Rating: ★★★★★ (5 out of 5) Beaujolais-Villages Coteau de Malval is a lieu-dit on a 37 year-old vineyard of clay with stony blue soil composition at nearly 400m. Anita Kuhnel crafts gamay in Moulin à Vent, Morgon, the homefront Chénas and Fleurie for Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages in several cuvées, including this fine and pinpointed example. Clearly a mineral and fruit-focused step up in quality but also determinate passion for village level Beaujolais. The tight grain of all parts, including a crispness of fruit and acid are all at the level one should demand and expect in gamay. So very good. $27,95 (vurderet ved ~ 140 kr.)

Robert Parker

The gourmand 2022 Beaujolais-Villages Coteau de Malval offers a juicy explosion of blue bramble fruits and lilac petals followed by undertones of dried herbs and sea salt. Medium to full-bodied, the crunchy blue-fruited core is laced together with rounded, powdery tannins and ripe acids, with a slow-fading ethereal finish.

John Szabo, Master Sommelier

Value Rating: ★★★★★ (5 out of 5) Clean and fragrant with lovely perfume, particularly floral, Domaine Anita's villages from the pebbly slopes of Beaujeu weathered the vagaries of the 2021 season very nicely, yielding a light and juicy wine, with very fine tannins and appealingly crunchy acids. Fruit is vibrant and fresh, just-ripe, while texture is silky and length very good. A very solid Villages-level Beaujolais, succulent and sapid, for current consumption or short term hold, best with a light chill. (vurderet ved ~ 140 kr.)
